Installation/Update:
Upload all files you find in /upload to your forum root and change
the read/write permissions of:
/vblinklist/backup /vblinklist/image
to 0777 in order to be able to make backups if needed.
Afterwards import 'product-vblinklist.xml' in admincp. Then configure the group permissions aswell as the administrator permissions.
Now you can change the settings of the addons in admincp and create categories like you want to.
The Link Directory is ready to use now, every function is used to vB-standard.
Adding the widget:
Admincp -> 'vBulletin CMS' -> 'Widgets' -> 'Create new widget'
Widget type: PHP Direct Execution Title: Link Directory Description: Shows a random entry and statistic from vBulletin Link Directory in CMS
Then 'Save' the widget and you'll see the list with the widgets alreday available in your forum. At the right side from 'Yellow Pages' you klick 'Configure' and enter the follwing information:
'Enter Php Code, in the form "$results = "':
PHP Code:
global $vbulletin, $vbphrases, $show, $stylevar;
include(DIR . "/vblinklist/widgets/widget_linklist_stats.php");
Template Name: vblinklist_widget_stats Cache refresh time (minutes): 5
Then 'Save' the configuration. The file to include (DIR . "/vblinklist/widgets/widget_linklist_stats.php") can be found in the vBulletin-CMS folder in the ZIP-file to this product.
Now you can place the widget with the Layout Manager.
Tools:
You'll find import-scripts in the 'tools'-directory to import links from other addons if needed.
General:
Updates can easily be done by just following the explanation for installation.
This addon will be supported by me, please take care of the license.txt-file.
IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO REMOVE OR CHANGE THE COPYRIGHT IN ANY WAYS.
Brandfree versions are available, please get in touch with me using PM for that.
Your feedback is welcome, please post bugs in this thread.
Check the stylevars, stylevar group 'linklist'. There you'll find the settings for the image and the banner just like border and/or max-width and max-height.
Thankyou very much :-)!

The custom preview image like 3D etc can be used if you change the service to userdefined and enter the link to the thumbnailservice in the specified field below.
Sorry, I made myself misunderstood, my bad. What you mention here is working like a charme and I already use it :-). What I meant was an additional option to add your own preview picture wil the thumbnail is still being created. thumber.de offers this link for example (taken from thumber.de):

Ah, okay, just had a look at that site and checked it. You talk about the option to store own previews untill the thumbnail has been created...
I can imagine how that works but I'm not quite sure yet. Does this link automatically skip the own preview as soon as the thumbnail has been created?
Yep, it does, I tested that on a single vB independent site just to be sure ;-).
It's not a biggie but could be a cool addition :-).
So the way it goes is like uploading a temporar image untill the thumbshot has been done by the service. The link to the temp image will get constructed by the upload which needs another db-entry. Problem is: how to automatically get ridd of the image after its not needed anmyore? This has to be done manually then as otherwise I dont see a change to keep this smooth.
